F A Q's
Is it
safe?
MODIFIED RULES for ages 6–8
and 9-12 combine with a
strictly policed SAFEPLAY

COMPETITION STRUCTURE to
ensure that children can
enjoy the fun of Rugby
League without fear of
serious injury.
Coaches and trainers are
qualified to levels set by
the Australian Rugby League
.
The Children’s Hospital
Institute of Sports
Medicine, Westmead has
conducted an injury study of
almost 400 junior teams
(Ages 6-17) and concluded-
1
.“….that occurrences of
injury in Junior Rugby
League are similar, if not
lower (when compared to
other published data) than
other sports such as
cricket, soccer and
basketball….often promoted
as ‘safe sports’.”
2 .“Public perception of
Junior Rugby League as being
a high injury sport has been
developed from MEDIA
exposure of the ELITE game”.

are graded in divisions
suited to their ability as
